As you talked and planned on what to do, you could see out the viewport back in the cockpit that a box-shaped Assault Shuttle was approaching, flanked by a flight of TIE Fighters. Since you hadn't put up a fight, they weren't firing on you, and simply approaching slowly. But soon, the Assault Shuttle passed to the underside of your ship and out of sight.
You could, however, hear the airlock click in the rear cargo hold. Thankfully, that was cabin rooms back from where you were, and it was still technically locked...but it was definitely not going to be a good place to hide from attention. Not only that, but if the Imperials found it locked, they likely wouldn't be happy about having to blast their way inside.
